Calloway: “My time with the Cass County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) has been wonderful in teaching me about how a conservation office functions. Interacting with various community members all over Indiana has been greatly useful in furthering my knowledge of nature conservation. This internship has shown me how interactive and team-based an agriculture occupation can be. I enjoy experiencing the balance of planning in an office environment and then applying your goals and plans in the field. The SWCD is about outreach and education, and I have certainly learned a lot about the business.”
